Swirling Smoke

I wade through the dark to find where I went wrong
Bodies caught up in sound are moving on
Into crystallized versions of themselves
I said I’d go with you through hell
Forever eighteen, you and me
But now, through the smoke
I see you
I reach out and fasten knuckles around thorns
How I’ve sought them out in gardens, and found them in yours
We laugh like kids, passing trauma around
Then wake up old, passing trauma down
I see you
Open up your arms
Forgive me, forgive me
Forgive me when the sun gets bigger
But now, through the smoke
